The Conner CP3100 is a slightly better performer than the Seagate, but be
careful.  The Conner has a problem with other devices that want to
arbitrate for the SCSI bus.  In this capacity range the best behaved
drive is the Quantum PRO80S.  I recommend it highly.  It is not the cheapest
in its capacity range, but it is the best value going.  It also
happens to be the best performing drive in its class.  Bottom line: You 
can't do any better than the Quantum drive for a SCSI application.
